MGS

MGS-like domain

SMART accession number:

SM00851

Description:

This domain composes the whole protein of methylglyoxal synthetase and the domain is also found in Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase (CPS) where it forms a regulatory domain that binds to the allosteric effector ornithine. This family also includes inosicase. The known structures in this family show a common phosphate binding site (PUBMED:10526357).

This information is based on mapping of SMART genomic protein database to KEGG orthologous groups. Percentage points are related to the number of proteins with MGS domain which could be assigned to a KEGG orthologous group, and not all proteins containing MGS domain. Please note that proteins can be included in multiple pathways, ie. the numbers above will not always add up to 100%.
